Overview

You will develop your research skills through a range of research training in your first year, including compulsory attendance at our fundamentals in biomedical research lectures in your first week and a selection of four specialist modules throughout first year (one half-day module available every month).

During the first term you will develop, in consultation with your supervisor, a clear study design for your project. Attendance on a two-day statistical course is compulsory to assist you with appropriate research design.

Supervision

The allocation of graduate supervision for this Molecular and Cellular Medicine course from the University of Oxford is the responsibility of Medical Sciences and the Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Sciences (NDORMS) and it is not always possible to accommodate the preferences of incoming graduate students to work with a particular member of staff. Under exceptional circumstances a supervisor may be found outside Medical Sciences and NDORMS.

In the case of students who require specific help to adjust to an academic programme or to a new range of skills, the supervisor will work with them to ensure that they have additional support.

Graduate destinations

The department follows alumni to establish the career paths of graduates. The majority of graduating DPhil and MSc by Research students go on to pursue research careers in academic institutions or industry.

Graduates also pursue careers in management, consulting, teaching, with science funding organisations, charities, and in scientific publishing/editing. A number of graduates have set up their own businesses (eg in editing).

Programme Structure

Courses include:

You will be required to attend and present at postgraduate seminars, not only to develop your presentation skills but also to benefit from the feedback, support and interaction from your University peers and senior academics.

In addition the department runs regular seminars by internal and external speakers on various topics related to chronic inflammatory conditions, which will provide further opportunity for you to broaden your knowledge in the field.

Attendance at a weekly journal club is also expected. You are also strongly encouraged to attend skills training courses run by the Medical Sciences Division.
